How much would you pay for a birthday cake for a 3 year old?
A custom Snow White cake (not fondant - buttercream icing) for say 15 toddlers and about 10 adults...
I'm getting prices upwards of $85 and feel like that's just way too much. Am I out of touch with pricing?
Re: How much would you pay for a birthday cake for a 3 year old?
That sounds about right, I think. They're probably counting the toddlers as full servings, so that's a cake for essentially 25 people. just over $3/piece. not too bad, but it would kill me to pay that kind of $$ for a cake for a 3 year old's party. They only want the frosting anyways.
I can't bake!!!
I'm getting a quote on those tomorrow - hopefully!
oh, yes you can.
Get to the store. Buy a box of cake mix and a tub of icing. walla.
Want to get fancy? Check out the Cake Doctor book from the library. TONS of recipes that are based on a box of cake mix.
Check out pictures online of cupcake ideas, and snow white cakes. There are some that aren't that fancy at all. My first doll cake was Snow White, and I had NO idea what I was doing. Turned out fine. And like I said, just used a plain old box mix for the cake. Actually, if you make a doll cake, you'd be best to stick w/ a box mix, as the fancy crazy moist recipes won't cook all the way through (learned that the hard way, when I cooked the cake for almost 2 hours and it was still raw in the middle of the skirt).
If you want to try it, let me know, and i can give you tips. I promise it looks WAY more difficult than it actually is.
About four dollars. I'd make it myself and it would taste great
Id serve it on snow white paper plates. 85 dollars for a cake is nuts
I spent $120 on 50 cupcakes (if I remember correctly) for D's parties for a little gym and school, he was turning four.
The cake price doesn't sound totally outrageous.
ETA: The cupcakes were organic, ta da, lolz.
I am going to try this myself!!! $85-$100 is nuts for cake that will end up half eaten and smooshed by 3 year olds on a sugar high.
Have been googling and I think I can at least do Snow White inspired cupcakes (from cake mix in a box).
Stay tuned!
I think the issue is that you want it custom made.
Can you just do a sheet cake from the local grocery or costco?
Or make her a princess cake re: dr&rn. Her cake for Natalie was awesome this year.
No way josay. The kind we make is easy peezy
I've never had a cake pop--keep that in mind. But the idea seems gross, all that mushing together of cake, yick, even if someone wore gloves, still eww.
Not for the cake squeamish!
Fluffy white cupcakes with fluffy white icing, on a tiered cake plate with a shiny red apple at the top.
Walla!
Snow White.
Pretty....I think that's what I will do. And I am going to buy the template on etsy and make cupcake toppers like this too.
With a gilded mirror as a backdrop. Perfect.
